Is this grounds for a lawsuit? ---Is your significant other's omission of past relationship details meant to: a) hide something, b) protect you, c) convey disrespect, or d) none of the above? ---With ongoing world conflicts, the potential loss of abortion rights, climate change, and rising costs of living, how can you justify bringing a child into the world? ---Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

745: Dave Farina | Debunking Junk Science Myths

Dave Farina ( [@daveexplains] (https://twitter.com/daveexplains) ) is on a mission to make science make sense for everyone — whether it's through his [Professor Dave Explains] (https://www.youtube.com/professordaveexplains) YouTube channel, his [Professor Dave Debates] (https://professordavedebates.simplecast.com/) podcast, or his new book, [Is This Wi-Fi Organic?: A Guide to Spotting Misleading Science Online (Science Myths Debunked)] (https://www.amazon.com/This-Wi-Fi-Organic-Spotting-Misleading/dp/1642504157/?tag=jordanharbing-20) . What We Discuss with Dave Farina: ---How the Internet went from a promising reservoir of unlimited knowledge for all to an insidious superspreader of disinformation. ---Why it's easier than ever for people to simply deny inconvenient facts that don't support their worldview. ---How NASA went from the revered public institution that miraculously landed human beings on the moon to the scapegoat for conspiracy theorists who insist the Earth is flat. ---Why synthetic doesn't always equate with bad, and natural doesn't automatically mean good. ---Who profits from the proliferation of fake science, and what can we do to separate the wheat from the chaff when we're bombarded with copious amounts of fact and fiction? ---And much more...

744: Heinous Bro Needs the Old Heave-Ho | Feedback Friday

Your brother is such an overall horrible, vicious, violent person that the cops could pick him up for murder and you'd confidently say, "I'm pretty sure you've got the right guy." So the years he's chosen to drop out of your life have been blissful. Unfortunately, he's back causing havoc in your life and the only way you'll ever have peace is to distance yourself from him completely. But how? We'll try to find an answer to this and more here on Feedback Friday! And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger ( [@JordanHarbinger] (https://twitter.com/JordanHarbinger) ) and Gabriel Mizrahi ( [@GabeMizrahi] (https://twitter.com/GabeMizrahi) ) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [friday@jordanharbinger.com] (mailto:friday@jordanharbinger.com) . Now let's dive in! Full show notes and resources can be found here: [jordanharbinger.com/744] (https://jordanharbinger.com/744) On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: ---We have an update on Gabe's neighbor from [episode 705] (https://www.jordanharbinger.com/gabes-front-row-seat-to-florid-psychosis-feedback-friday/) . ---Your human carbuncle of a brother has made your life — and the life of everyone else in your family — Hell for years, and you wish he'd just go away. What can you morally and legally do to make this happen? ---You have an ex who's publically airing grievances that you cheated on her, abused her, and gaslit her — and none of it is true. How can you stop her from spreading these lies and reassure your friends and family who have heard them that they're complete fabrications? ---You adopted your daughter, now age seven, three years ago after her birth mother committed a serious crime. Is it appropriate to tell your daughter the details when she asks? ---You've always been on great terms with your brother, but you find his current choice of girlfriend lacking. In fact, you think she may be an actual psychopath and you don't want him to bring her around anymore. Instead of being understanding about your concerns, he's taken her side and treats you like the enemy. What can you do? ---It's hard to feel like you're part of a supportive team when you're always the one willing to look like an idiot in front of your new manager to ask the questions everyone else only pretends to know. How can you ensure your manager doesn't really think you're an idiot? ---Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

741: Is Marriage Impaired by Emotional Affairs? | Feedback Friday

He may not physically be cheating on you, but his penchant for "mentoring" young women — on at least four occasions that you know of — is tantamount to having multiple emotional affairs.

What We Discuss with Ryan Holiday: ---How do you get into the headspace where you do your best work when everything in the modern world is trying to distract you from getting there? ---In spite of writing his first book about 1,800 years after Marcus Aurelius wrote his last, has Ryan really outsold the Stoic philosopher emperor? ---How do we keep from letting our desire to be perceived as great get in the way of truly achieving greatness (or at least creating good work)? ---Do you have the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed, courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other in order to live your best life? ---How Stoicism's four cardinal virtues (courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom) can guide you even when the circumstances in which you find yourself are beyond your control. ---And much more...

Matthew Campbell ( [@MattCampbell] (https://twitter.com/MattCampbell) ) is an award-winning reporter and editor for Bloomberg Businessweek magazine and the co-author, with Kit Chellel, of [Dead in the Water: A True Story of Hijacking, Murder, and a Global Maritime Conspiracy] (https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Water-Hijacking-Maritime-Conspiracy/dp/0593329236/?tag=jordanharbing-20) . What We Discuss with Matthew Campbell: ---The International Chamber of Shipping estimates about 90 percent of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry to the tune of around $14 trillion (about 2/3rds of the US GDP) per year. ---Piracy persists in places along these lucrative shipping lines because people who have nothing to lose are willing to risk their lives for potentially big payouts. ---Why insurance surveyor David Mockett didn't quite buy the story that Somali pirates had attacked oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso when he investigated the site — and how it led to his murder. ---Insurance fraud is one of the world's oldest rackets, with instances documented as far back as ancient Greece. ---Why rogue ship owners will fly "flags of convenience" — flags of countries with fewer regulations than the ones from which their ships are actually owned. ---And much more...
